With Friday night MLB action on the horizon, betting enthusiasts have a great opportunity to cash in on home run prop bets. Predicting which players will go deep is a challenge, but understanding recent performance, matchup specifics, and pitching tendencies can significantly enhance your betting strategy.

This Friday's standout picks include Nick Kurtz of the Oakland Athletics, who is on fire with 23 homers this season and a .304 batting average. He faces Baltimore's Tomoyuki Sugano, who has allowed a home run in every game this season. Ryan O'Hearn, now with the San Diego Padres, is another intriguing option, especially with a favorable history against Walker Buehler of the Boston Red Sox. And don't overlook Ketel Marte of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who has a solid track record against lefties and a favorable matchup against the Rockies' Austin Gomber.
